A Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Telitacicept in the Treatment of Children Ocular Myasthenia Gravis
Sponsor: The Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine
Summary
Under conventional treatment regimens, pediatric ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) is prone to relapse and is associated with corticosteroid-related adverse effects, indicating an unmet clinical need. In May 2025, the targeted B-cell biologic agent Telitacicept was approved for use in adult patients with acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG) and subsequently initiated in national multicenter clinical trials for adult OMG. Our center published a retrospective study in the Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Pediatrics in August 2025, which was the first report both domestically and internationally on the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept in four pediatric OMG patients. This study plans to conduct a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Telitacicept in pediatric OMG.

Telitacicept
All enrolled pediatric patients with OMG who meet the inclusion criteria will receive subcutaneous injections of Telitacicept on top of their existing medication regimen. The dose will be adjusted according to the patient's body weight: 160 mg per dose for those weighing ≥40 kg; 80 mg per dose for those weighing between 20 kg and \<40 kg; for patients weighing \<20 kg or aged \<5 years, a gradual dose reduction may be considered based on individual circumstances. The administration schedule for Telitacicept (80 mg or 160 mg per dose) is as follows: once weekly via subcutaneous injection for the first 12 weeks; subsequently, once every two weeks via subcutaneous injection for the next 12 weeks; followed by once every four weeks via subcutaneous injection thereafter. Corticosteroids will be gradually tapered and discontinued based on changes in the patient's clinical condition.
